The Boys
Welcome back to BFFs and Boybands, where we talk about “Friendship, Fandom, and the Boybands we love”! Carrie loves One Direction and Muse loves BTS and we talk about the things our fandoms share, how they’re different, and why we’re so invested.
On this episode: We talk about who the boys are, where they’re from, and what we mean when we say we love them.
00:46 So... what did Carrie think of Neva Play from last episode?
02:58 We didn’t talk about the boys last time, so let’s do that now.
03:19 Why we call them ‘the boys’, even though they’re adults – is it infantalizing?
05:32 Carrie introduces One Direction and their origin story
07:59 Carrie introduces the members of One Direction (Harry Styles is in One Direction???)
10:00 Muse talks about how Kpop Idol Groups are formed, and BTS came together
12:23 One Direction and the X-Factor house, and how that led to One Direction developing a fanbase
13:10 How BTS made connections with their fans through online lives
14:30 The BTS members, and why there are 600 names for them, and only 7 guys
19:45 The One Direction Hiatus and their solo work
22:32 BTS and their almost-breakup
25:55 Do we love them? And what does that really mean?
28:45 “I think they love us too”
30:58 Is it their personalities, or their music that we love?
34:03 If you could recommend one song... what would it be?
37:26 The Boy of the Week – Mom’s favourite, Niall Horan!
43:00 Closing notes, next show and contact info
